In the event that no Relevant Entity has credit ratings at least equal to the Required Ratings Threshold (such event, a "Required Ratings Downgrade Event"), then Party A shall, as soon as reasonably practicable and so long as a Required Ratings Downgrade Event is in effect, at its own expense, using commercially reasonable efforts, procure either (A) a Permitted Transfer or (B) an Eligible Guarantee from an Eligible Guarantor. (e) Compliance with Regulation AB. BNY and Counterparty agree that the terms of the Item 1115 Agreement dated as of April 24, 2006 (the "Regulation AB Agreement"), among IndyMac Bank, F.S.B., IndyMac MBS, Inc., IndyMac ABS and BNY shall be incorporated by reference into this Agreement so that Counterparty shall be an express third party beneficiary of the Regulation AB Agreement. A copy of the Regulation AB Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A. (f) Transfers. (i) Section 7 is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows: "Except with respect to any Permitted Transfer pursuant to Section 6(b)(ii), Part 5(d), Part 5(e), or the succeeding sentence, neither Party A nor Party B is permitted to assign, novate or transfer (whether by way of security or otherwise) as a whole or in part any of its rights, obligations or interests under the Agreement or any Transaction unless (a) the prior written consent of the other party is obtained, and (b) the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied with respect to S&P and Fitch. At any time at which no Relevant Entity has credit ratings at least equal to the Approved Ratings Threshold, Party A may make a Permitted Transfer." (ii) If an Eligible Replacement has made a Firm Offer (which remains an offer that will become legally binding upon acceptance by Party B) to be the transferee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, Party B shall, at Party A's written request and at Party A's expense, take any reasonable steps required to be taken by Party B to effect such transfer. (g) Non-Recourse. Party A acknowledges and agree that, notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of Party B hereunder are limited recourse obligations of Party B, payable solely from the Trust and the proceeds thereof, in accordance with the priority of payments and other terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that Party A will not have any recourse to any of the directors, officers, employees, shareholders or affiliates of the Party B with respect to any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, indemnities or other obligations in connection with any transactions contemplated hereby. In the event that the Trust and the proceeds thereof, should be insufficient to satisfy all claims outstanding and following the realization of the account held by the Trust and the proceeds thereof, any claims against or obligations of Party B under the ISDA Master Agreement or any other confirmation thereunder still outstanding shall be extinguished and thereafter not revive. The Trustee shall not have liability for any failure or delay in making a payment hereunder to Party A due to any failure or delay in receiving amounts in the account held by the Trust from the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. This provision will survive the termination of this Agreement. (h) Timing of Payments by Party B upon Early Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6(d)(ii), to the extent that all or a portion (in either case, the "Unfunded Amount") of any amount that is calculated as being due in respect of any Early Termination Date under Section 6(e) from Party B to Party A will be paid by Party B from amounts other than any upfront payment paid to Party B by an Eligible Replacement that has entered a Replacement Transaction with Party B, then such Unfunded Amount shall be due on the next subsequent Distribution Date following the date on which the payment would have been payable as determined in accordance with Section 6(d)(ii), and on any subsequent Distribution Dates until paid in full (or if such Early Termination Date is the final Distribution Date, on such final Distribution Date); provided, however, that if the date on which the payment would have been payable as determined in accordance with Section 6(d)(ii) is a Distribution Date, such payment will be payable on such Distribution Date. Page 13 of 40 (i) Rating Agency Notifications. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Early Termination Date shall be effectively designated hereunder by Party B and no transfer of any rights or obligations under this Agreement shall be made by either party unless each Swap Rating Agency has been given prior written notice of such designation or transfer. (j) No Set-off. Except as expressly provided for in Section 2(c), Section 6 or Part 1(f)(i)(D) hereof, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other existing or future agreement, each party irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have to set off, net, recoup or otherwise withhold or suspend or condition payment or performance of any obligation between it and the other party hereunder against any obligation between it and the other party under any other agreements. Section 6(e) shall be amended by deleting the following sentence: "The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date and determined pursuant to this Section will be subject to any Set-off.". (k) Amendment. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, no amendment of either this Agreement or any Transaction under this Agreement shall be permitted by either party unless each of the Swap Rating Agencies has been provided prior written notice of the same and such amendment satisfies the Rating Agency Condition with respect to Moody's, S&P and Fitch. (l) Notice of Certain Events or Circumstances. Each Party agrees, upon learning of the occurrence or existence of any event or condition that constitutes (or that with the giving of notice or passage of time or both would constitute) an Event of Default or Termination Event with respect to such party, promptly to give the other Party and to each Swap Rating Agency notice of such event or condition; provided that failure to provide notice of such event or condition pursuant to this Part 5(l) shall not constitute an Event of Default or a Termination Event. (m) Proceedings. No Relevant Entity shall institute against, or cause any other person to institute against, or join any other person in instituting against Party B, the Swap Trust, or the Trust formed pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law for a period of one year (or, if longer, the applicable preference period) and one day following payment in full of the Certificates and any Notes. This provision will survive the termination of this Agreement. (n) Supplemental Interest Trustee Liability Limitations. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (a) this Agreement is executed by Deutsche Bank National Trust Company not in individually or personally, but solely as Swap Trustee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it under the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (b) Deutsche Bank National Trust Company has been directed pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder; (c) each of the representations, undertakings and agreements herein made on behalf of Party B is made and intended not as personal representations, undertakings and agreements of Deutsche Bank National Trust Company but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Swap Trust; (d) nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability on the part of Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, individually or personally, to perform any covenant, either expressed or implied, contained herein, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by the parties hereto and by any Person claiming by, through or under the parties hereto; and (e) under no circumstances shall Deutsche Bank National Trust Company be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of Party B or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by Party B under this Agreement or any other related documents, as to all of which recourse shall be had solely to the assets of the Swap Trust in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. (o) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant, or condition of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any party or circumstance, shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable (in whole or in part) in any respect, the remaining terms, provisions, covenants, and conditions hereof shall continue in full force and effect as if this Agreement had been executed with the invalid or unenforceable portion eliminated, so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter of this Agreement and the deletion of such portion of this Agreement will not substantially impair the respective benefits or expectations of the parties; provided, however, that this severability provision shall not be applicable if any provision of Section 2, 5, 6, or 13 (or any definition or provision in Section 14 to the Page 14 of 40 extent it relates to, or is used in or in connection with any such Section) shall be so held to be invalid or unenforceable. The parties shall endeavor to engage in good faith negotiations to replace any invalid or unenforceable term, provision, covenant or condition with a valid or enforceable term, provision, covenant or condition, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid or unenforceable term, provision, covenant or condition. (p) Agent for Party B. Party A acknowledges that Party B has appointed the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee as its agent under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to carry out its obligations hereunder, and that the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall be entitled to give notices and to perform and satisfy the obligations of Party B hereunder on behalf of Party B. (q) Escrow Payments. If (whether by reason of the time difference between the cities in which payments are to be made or otherwise) it is not possible for simultaneous payments to be made on any date on which both parties are required to make payments hereunder, either Party may at its option and in its sole discretion notify the other Party that payments on that date are to be made in escrow. In this case deposit of the payment due earlier on that date shall be made by 2:00 pm (local time at the place for the earlier payment) on that date with an escrow agent selected by the notifying party, accompanied by irrevocable payment instructions (i) to release the deposited payment to the intended recipient upon receipt by the escrow agent of the required deposit of any corresponding payment payable by the other party on the same date accompanied by irrevocable payment instructions to the same effect or (ii) if the required deposit of the corresponding payment is not made on that same date, to return the payment deposited to the party that paid it into escrow. The party that elects to have payments made in escrow shall pay all costs of the escrow arrangements. (r) Consent to Recording. Each party hereto consents to the monitoring or recording, at any time and from time to time, by the other party of any and all communications between trading, marketing, and operations personnel of the parties and their Affiliates, waives any further notice of such monitoring or recording, and agrees to notify such personnel of such monitoring or recording.
